Art in Cloth ... thinking about my sister SNIPPETS...
sharing snippets from my journal post WLS ... my entry today: La prenda hecha arte .... Art in Cloth...
My empowerment collage today ... I was thinking about my sister having stayed home to take care of plans for Panama .. as I thought about her I can remember her enthusiam with my weight loss surgery and I could feel her rooting for me from back home ... when she went to Mexico on a Medical Tour (she is a physician) she bought and sent me this awesome handmade designer's dress ..hand painted/embroidered in hand painted flowers and stems both in fabric and dry flowers ... by Ana Rosa ... Her dresses/outfits are all hand painted and hand embroidered in heneken ..burlap .. and it is called La Prenda Hecha Arte... Art in fabric or cloth... an awesome gift from my sister on my first few months out of surgery my year out when putting the tiny garment with the voluminous skirt was only a dream ... and this is the 3rd time I wear it 5 years 4 months after surgery... I remembering her today as I pray her strength and thank God in advance for her miracle as she battles for her life... this is my empowerment collage ... from my journal a picture a day keeps the pounds and the inches away...
My voluminous skirt spread like a pollera that spill out of the tiny bodice with the low cut back...
closeup...
Then I was told my furry babies (8 ferrets) were out of treats ... so off I go to the store with my loud pink basket purse my DD gave me and guess who were in it? all in my stuff but my dwarf ferret Chiquitita and my baby ferret Finibeau ... and off to the store we go...
Early this morning I bought my DH to the doctors and I was looking like this...
and now the day is over ... I am chillaxing in the hammock on the desk for the rest of he evening or until a mosquito loses his high off me OFF and bites me ... I will come in bathe and crash then ...LOL ... in the meantime I am relaxin with my iPad watching the ferrets on their leashes chase the grass and each other...
So far today I ran 5 miles first thing this morning .. did weights this pm ... ran around like a headless chicken on a million errands ... spend the morning of my day of at the doctors with DH came home did my empowerment collage with my sister in mind and when I revisited my journal for my entry this day I found the picture of my beautiful DD holding a ferret and trying hard to sit up straight and hold herself up her body weakened with polymyositis in full flare up ... today she is clear and healthy .. I will count my blessings Always and not my worries ... not even now that I freak out when I think about my sister ... I will remember that she too is blessed and that I have thanked God ahead of time for a miracle for her too ...
Thanks for allowing me to share.... if you want to see Ana Rosa's designs google La Prenda Hecha Arte ... awesome!!! it is different and I love it!

RNY 2/5/07 no regain having implemented lifestyle changes....
I adore the dress, & I love this post.
My son's friend (former girlfriend of his) asked me to teach her how to quilt. I've given her 2 lessons (each of which lasted hours!). It has given me so much joy.
I've been sewing since I was 7, but I feel like I lost my mojo when I had my RNY 2/28/12 (almost exactly 4 months ago). Now that I'm teaching Celia how to hand- & machine-piece, I am getting excited about creating "art from fabric" again!
Much love to you, your sister, your DD, & your FBs.

Thank you much!!! Congrats on getting your mojo back ... I have tons of fabric (awesome pieces) for grabs ... Way to go on creating 'art from fabric' ... it is one of my best hobbies yet ... There is an awesome quilter on here too ... I have seen her work IRL and it is just awesome ...

I always enjoy your posts/pictures so much! You are such an inspiration!
My best friend Chris bought me 2 dresses that we picked up yesterday from David's bridal that we had on layaway. He is in his friends' wedding and the festivities begin on Friday with a dinner/dancing boat cruise around Boston Harbor which is the bachelor/bachelorette party, then the rehersal dinner on Saturday night, then the big wedding day on Sunday. I picked out the gorgeous multicolored ****tail dress for the cruise and he picked out the formal strapless dress for the wedding. Pictures to follow after the big weekend!!!! I am so excited!
Have a great day everyone!
